Startup Strategies: Drafting to Reload, Not Rebuild: Part 2 – Depth Evaluation

Dynasty / By /

Hurray for the start of Training Camps!! We can finally begin overhyping Twitter highlights while we listen to the sweet voice of Liev Schreiber give hope to Cowboys fans via Hard Knocks. So as we squeeze in a few more startups before the regular season starts, let’s dive into Part II of our Startup Strategies series. Make sure to check out Part I where I focus on drafting a strong core pick-by-pick through the first nine rounds of a real draft I participated in, and how you can take my strategy and deep dive to draft a roster competitive enough to win now without having to rebuild later. In Part II we’ll take a broader look at the full roster post-draft to evaluate depth by position and consider immediate and future roster moves needed to bring home The Ship.

Fantasy Stock Up, Stock Down: NFC South

Dynasty / By /

Tampa Bay made it apparent that they wanted to retain Brady’s pass-catchers by re-signing both Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin. Add them to the mix of Mike Evans, Scotty Miller, Rob Gronkowski, and Cameron Brate, and this group may be the deepest receiving crew in the league. To add more fire to the mix, O.J. Howard will come into the 2021 season fully healthy again. Brady finished as the QB8 last season, but most of his damage came in the second half of the season. From Weeks 7 and 17, he served as the QB6, but what’s more impressive is that he finished as the QB2 during the last three weeks of the season. Why is that the more impressive part? Maybe it’s because those last three weeks are typically the FANTASY PLAYOFFS!

DFF Draft Coverage: Jaelon Darden to the Buccaneers

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

Jaelon Darden is one of your annual small-school stories where an incredible athlete, who was overlooked by large programs, emerges. Darden was a high school QB, so he possesses basic knowledge about reading coverages and finding openings in the defense. He played in all 14 games as a backup WR during his true freshman season compiling 281 yards and three TDs on 32 receptions, while also contributing as a punt and kick returner. While he still returned punts, Darden focused on offense as a sophomore, hauling in 48 receptions for 575 yards and four TDs.

Start/Sit Week 5

All Access / By /

Each and every week, I’ll be covering a handful of players that I believe will either exceed expectations or let your team down in a major way. Here’s who you should be looking at for Week 5. This one should go without saying, but please start Kareem Hunt. He will operate as the undisputed lead back in Cleveland while Nick Chubb is on IR. Despite a tough matchup against the Colts’ much-improved defense, Hunt should be considered an RB1 this week and every week until Chubb returns.

Scott Miller: 2020 Dynasty Profile

Dynasty / By /

The Buccaneers drafted Miller in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft as a deep wide receiver flier. Miller played four years at Bowling Green State University in the MAC conference. Even though he played at a smaller school, he dominated his team in receiving stats, gaining a bit of attention from NFL scouts. However, Miller had little chance to make an impact on the Buccaneers as a rookie in 2019. They had two star wide receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and a solid WR3 in Breshad Perriman. Additionally, the Buccaneers had two receiving tight ends with Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard and another depth receiver, 2018 fifth-round pick Justin Watson.

The Redraft Wire – Week 1

All Access / By /

MVS’s ownership comes in just over 40% but we’ll include him anyway as he’s on just about all my redraft waiver wires. The Packers have been searching far and wide to assist Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams but we’re never sure who it will be. MVS could finally be separating himself from the pack (no pun intended). He finished Week 1 with four receptions on six targets for 96 yards and a 45-yard touchdown. The Packer’s deep threat should be at the top of your waiver list if receivers are needed.

The Waiver Wire: Week 16

Dynasty / By /

Hopefully, I’ll be able to help you whether you’re reading this in preparation for your upcoming championship game or to accrue assets for 2020. Only two teams are alive in your leagues (assuming you don’t have a Week 17 championship). That means you should be looking to the future if you aren’t one of those

Dynasty Waiver Wire: Week 15

Dynasty / By /

Whether you’re in the playoffs or not, you need to still work the waiver wire. Never stop working the wire. The NFL still has several weeks of the regular season left, which means injuries and poor play will provide us with players to our rosters. Some of these players could be one week fill-ins for your playoff team. Some may end up being stashes we use in the future. Most are likely to flame out never to be heard of again. But that’s why we have roster space. Pick up players to plug and play, or to stash.

In the Scope: Week 7

Uncategorized / By /

With no blockbuster waiver-wire targets hitting the scene this week, it should be in the best interest of most redraft team owners to continue to save their waiver wire position or FAAB budget for when one does.But with that being said, it is still crucial to constantly be working the free-agent market to find the players that could lead to value and wins down the road.Here are your Week 7 “In the Scope” candidates that could soon be the top waiver claims of tomorrow.
